Samuel Pineles (born July 23, 1843 in Brody , † October 1928 in Galați ) was a Zionist leader during the early days of Zionism before the establishment of the State of Israel .
He was the son of the teacher and writer Hirsch Mendel ben Solomon Pineles (1806–1879). In 1863 Samuel Pineles moved with his family to the Romanian Galai . Since the beginning of the 1880s Samuel Pineles was a member of the Chovevei Zion , from 1882 to 1884 General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Movement for the Settlement of Palestine in Romania. He was involved in the preparation of the settlement of Sichron Jaʿaqov (then called Zamarin ) and Rosh Pinna .
Pineles was a member of the “Great Action Committee” of the Zionist movement and had already taken part in the preliminary conference for the First Zionist Congress .
At the beginning of 1897 he had proposed lotteries and similar money-collecting methods to finance settlement work in Palestine, which Theodor Herzl refused (Herzl: "At least I can and will not bother with such things, our movement has enough mean slanderers anyway").
Since 1900 the Romanian Zionists (conflict between Galați and Brăila ) were violently divided, in March 1902 Samuel Pineles lost the confidence of the Zionist leadership in Vienna. In 1909 Pineles donated 30,000 francs to the Jewish National Fund in Cologne, which he received from Baron Edmond de Rothschild for the settlements on the Golan , which the Romanian group of Chibbat Zion had acquired.
The Israeli city of Givʿat Schmu'el is named after him.
